Manchester United's end-of-season Asia trip was overshadowed by disciplinary issues after players, including Alejandro Garnacho, were reprimanded for making an inappropriate fan gesture. The trip, which followed a 3-1 victory over Hong Kong, was marked by player frustration and tension.

The squad, reportedly "fuming" about the tour, demanded an early return flight, reflecting their displeasure at being asked to travel post-season to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. The players were allowed to enjoy themselves on the outbound flight, which departed four hours after a 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa.

Amid the unrest, winger Amad Diallo publicly apologized on social media after his mother was insulted by an "unhealthy individual," highlighting the emotional strain on the team.
